Without a shadow of doubt, the greatest food of them all was ramen. No objections are allowed.

Chapter 5: Suddenly, Hikigaya Komachi thinks of the day her brother leaves.

Now that we were into the second half of August, the feeling of summer vacation was beginning to fade.

When I counted the remaining days of the month, I was assaulted by a feeling of melancholy which caused me to let out an eerie voice like the one from The Dish Mansion at Bancho. One daaaay, two daaaaaays… two moooonths wasn’t enoooooough. If I could ask for more, I’d want three months.

Thinking, “The end of the Earth is in just x number of days!”, I marked an “X” on the calendar that was posted on the refrigerator. If I added a circle[43] on there, it would’ve been the Takoyaki Manto Man.

There’s about a little over two weeks left of summer vacation. Hey wait, did you make a time leap?[44]

Oh, you must be joking. Did I count the days wrong? I checked over the calendar again and something had crawled around at my feet.

“…What is it?”

When I looked down, our house cat Kamakura was looking at me with a displeased face.

Our staring showdown lasted for a few seconds. Then, Kamakura snorted his nose and rolled over on top of my feet. Totally getting in my way.

It looked like he wanted me to give him some attention.

Speaking of the past few days, Komachi had been really attached to Sabure… I suppose he was disgruntled from that and unfortunately, had to come to me instead.

I sluggishly sat on the floor and patted Kamakura’s body.

At first, I followed the direction of his fur, slowly rubbing him from his head down to his tail. I did that for a bit until he groaned to which I gave him a light massage, moving my fingers around to his vital points.

Kamakura closed his eyes as he let out nasal breaths. He seemed considerably exhausted.

I imagined that he would be, what with Sabure chasing him around whenever they were in the same room.

Sabure demonstrated the agitation common to small breeds of dogs within our home and ran all over the place. On top of that, he’d charge at Kamakura with a strong curiosity asking him, “Let’s play~!” as if this was his first time encountering a cat. Every time Sabure chased after him, Kamakura would find refuge at places Sabure couldn’t reach like the top of the refrigerator or behind drawers.

And now that Komachi who would spoil him with whatever had been taken away from him, Kamakura had no choice but to come to me as a compromise. Well, sorry you had to be stuck with me.

“Well, you know. Just put up with it and let him have her for today… You’re the older brother here, after all,” I said to Kamakura, regurgitating the same thing I was told when I was younger. I didn’t know Sabure’s age, but in the history of the Hikigaya household, Kamakura was here longer and systematically, he’s the older brother.
